The election of President Jack Goodwin marked a turning point, swiftly stabilizing the U.S. and launching the “Sweet Shift” policy, promoting corn-based PLA as a high-value, eco-friendly material to transform manufacturing and green technology. Europe saw a chance to compete, while Japan, inspired by Goodwin’s approach, unveiled the “Reiwa Deal”, modernizing infrastructure, advancing digital networks, and positioning PLA as a strategic national industry.
Prime Minister Morishita Ryuichi emphasized Japan’s manufacturing strengths and the urgency to act, warning that global competitors, including the U.S., Europe, China, and South Korea, were already moving. Public excitement surged, companies repositioned, and the new PLA ecosystem gained momentum.
As an overseas journalist, you witness Japan’s bold strategy and the unfolding global shift, standing at the heart of this transformative era.
